Good Morning!!!!!!
It is sunny and freezing here!! I woke up early this Saturday and decided to spend it in the kitchen baking!!! I love baking and finding ways and recipes that will satisfy my cravings while still following my clean eating paleoish lifestyle. This morning lived up to all my wildest dreams and more!
I was inspired by two fellow foodies paleOMG and Fierce Forward for Life with two recipes that had my mouth watering from their pictures!!! I hope my pictures are as tempting as theirs and bring you to their pages to try out these recipes.
First up was Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins by paleOMG
(slightly modified to what I had in the kitchen)
Before they went in the oven I added a few raw sliced almonds to the top.
(Press them down a little so they bake into the muffin and don't fall off.)
Here is the link to the recipe I used.
***I used only egg whites and didn't have walnuts so I used sliced raw almonds instead. I also left out the salt.
***Next batch I make I am adding vanilla protein powder!!!!
Not only are they BEAUTIFUL but they were simple to make and beyond delicious!!!
Thanks paleOMG! :)
Next up was a recipe that I have literally been dreaming about all week from Fierce Forward for Life.
Almond Joys are my FAVORITE candy, ever since I was little. On Halloween I always traded my brother and sister for them, they gladly gave them up for all my Snickers bars. When I saw a clean version that I could eat without straying away from my healthy lifestyle I was in HEAVEN!! I am for sure going to be hoarding all of these, no trading happening here!!!
Here are my sweet little bites of joy just waiting to be rolled in cocoa powder and then devoured!!!

Thank you Ashley for this great recipe!!!
Well I am off to enjoy the rest of my Saturday snowboarding in these frigid temperatures, but we got some snow so I have to get out there!!!
Enjoy your Saturday!!!
Live free and be strong, as always!
